Why d'ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

Say goodnight and go,
why's it always always
goodnight and go
Darling not again
Goodnight and go

For always being there

Thanks for being my best friend. Wanna play badminton with me?

Today the family visited this native village in Gelang Patah, Malaysia. About 5 cars drove in, like we used to do years ago. So much fewer cousins but it was still an enjoyable trip.

It was pretty heartwarming, seeing those people leading such carefree lives. The kids were just playing in the dirty water, most of them naked. Fun to them came in the form of us throwing coins into the water for them to catch, and snapping pictures of them. Kinda surreal, actually, to see people living such lives just across the causeway. Our lives seem so much better when we compare the living environments, but why do they look happier? We're living in a society where everyone's too spoilt.

Anyway, the village was pretty huge! Them kids followed us wherever we went and, whenever they saw a river or anything, they just jumped in. We saw shy geese, ducks, chickens and chicks, dogs all. Even the dogs ran away when we walked to them! Really, really cute looking though. The adults there just rear fish, fish, sell fish, spend their earnings on beer. Simple much?

Over there, we ate non stop for like 2 hours. The seafood just kept coming in free flow! Tons of uber fresh gong gongs, crabs, fish, prawns, clams all. My dad looked like he was gonna explode there and then. It was really awesome though. Some of the kids helped to cook the food instead of fight with the others for money, very nice sight. The sad thing about them is that, their skin have gotten so thick, they couldn't feel when ants were crawling all over their feet. :\

Chucky!

MY LIFE IS GOOD.

weak.

2010-01-27T01:12:00.003+08:00

Last Saturday, at a chalet, I was standing around talking to my primary school friends whom I'd coincidentally met there and I kept dropping the empty cup that I was holding. It pissed me off so badly I put it down, hard.
Then, while talking to Graham, I just let the cup of green tea slip off my hand out of the blue and made a mess on the floor.

Dying already.

So what if it hurts me

2010-01-25T01:02:00.002+08:00

Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause I'm just trying to be happy

HI ANYONE WHO STILL DROPS BY HERE STILL.

LIFE'S BEEN GOOD, I'VE BEEN TOO BUSY TO COME ONLINE, TOO BUSY TO BLOG.

BLOGGING'S GETTING OBSOLETE. JUST TWEET.

NO TIME ALREADY. BYE!

Merry Christmas all! Slightly late because there's finally time to lie in bed and spend time with the laptop.

Work was fun on Christmas eve, everyone bought presents but I only brought muffins and cookies. So nice right? Guilt meter 10/10 but never mind. They said it was nice. The staff party was awesome because there was a huge spread of KFC and Pizza hut, followed by 2 huge boxes of Coffee Bean desserts + fruit cocktail made by the Principal. Totally took away my appetite for dinner.

After a 45 min nap (making the total amount of sleep time from Thursday 1h 45 mins), we went to Equatorial for the annual Sims Christmas Party cum Joyce's birthday celebration. Food looked good but the lack of sleep probably made me sick for a bit and turned me away from the dining table. Only finally felt like eating when Ian made me try a mouth of his 5/6th serving of pasta+mash potatoes.
We played Bingo and some other games, then had our gift exchange where I, once again, got Uncle Robson's gift which was, once again, a card holder.
After waiting for the birthday girl to cut her cake, Sarah and I went off for our respective plans, in which mine was to head to Haji lane with Regine, Shang and Soo. We then decided to spend the next few early hours of Christmas playing Mahjong at Shang's. Almost lost all my chips again but recouped my losses in the end. They say it's because of the elephant and R's 必胜御守 but I'd like to think it was just me. :)

Finally we all got to rest more (5 hours this time) and it was picnic time! Treated Bambi and Deedee to a trip out to the Botanic Garden. For once, Deedee was pretty obedient and followed us without having to be put on her leash. But she still left her poop everywhere she went. The 2 of them couldn't stop hunting for food and went running to everyone holding food. But Bambi was still the ultimate because she jumped off R's lap to catch the piece of dog food I'd thrown to Deedee.
Deedee was probably the happiest when R opened a pack of Caeser and Huixian scooped half of it out and put it on the floor for her. We all saw the dog food for about 2 secs and it was gone. All gone.
We then decided to leave. Washed the dogs a little then put them both in Bambi's bag. Lazy Deedee decided to make herself comfortable in it and Bam seemed to be almost falling out half the time.

We got lost trying to look for Holland V, and just went R decided to head to Dempsey, we found Holland V right next to us. Some zi char and Cold Rock later, we made plans for Summer Breeze. BTW, when we were eating, the bag in which Deedee was in suddenly fell off the chair. R gave a loud 'OMG' but Deedee was still nua-ing in the bag, unhurt and unafraid. Damn lazy lor! When Bambi was inside and the bag fell earlier on, she still knew how to jump out. Tsk.

Drank a tad too much (by my standards) and fell asleep at Summer Breeze and my very nice friends decided to keep for themselves a picture of me sleeping. Basket. I woke up to find Soo finishing my kiam chai teng. TMD

My sister went clubbing for the first time and I got worried when she stopped replying my messages and not answering my phone call. This morning I got up and the first thing I did was to turn and make sure she was in made. Thankfully she was.

That was how i spent my Christmas. Nothing extraordinary but every bit enjoyable. I hope you guys had a great one too!

XOXO

Baking with Shang

2009-12-23T01:04:00.001+08:00

Me: "The cookies are not soft yet"
Shang: "Huh?"
Me: "The cookies are not soft yet!"
Shang: "Huh?"
Me: "The cookies are not soft yet!!"
Shang: "You mean the cookies are not hard yet."

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better

2009-12-22T15:16:00.002+08:00

Sometimes I think back on what I used to have, what I have lost, what's not the same anymore. Then I think of what I've got now. Life's not the same, but it could still be good. We all get to choose whether or not to be happy. As long as the flaws are hidden, we can forget about the feeling called sadness.

If every day could be like today, I could always be a very, very happy girl.

so suweiiii

2009-12-20T23:41:00.002+08:00

Hi!

After being on a week-long MC, I'm super exhausted. I've had awesome friends keeping me company. Awesome friends who cannot stop teasing me and blaming me for every suey (unlucky) happening going their way. I need a new chinese name, period.
Anyway guys, I checked out the meaning of 'suwei suwei suwei' in Pitbull's Krazy, which is actually 'Sube Sube Sube .. Sube El Volumen', meaning 'Up up up, turn the volume up'
I got it from yahoo answers so I don't know if it's accurate. But no matter what, I'm sure my fab friends Shang, Soo and Regine will be able to interpret something dirty from that definition.

Yesterday I went prawning for the 3rd time and caught my very 1st (and only) prawn. I suppose I was finally heng enough to catch one, but suey because the rest caught an average of 7 prawns each. At least my catch wasn't the puny one that Shang caught, thank goodness.

I really need my bed now. Good night!

Quoting Mick, who got this from http://quietlyrambling.livejournal.com:

we used to think how some things mattered.

the simple things like long talks over coffee, the smell of morning breakfast, the cool breezy afternoons where you lay on the floor, reading, trying to write, thinking, recalling. the quiet lonely nights, the awkward silences when you used to be best friends but you all went different ways one day. the inkling of something magical that was going to happen. long walks in the night.

suddenly things change, things somehow became foreign. all the little things that used to mean so much to you, they dont mean the same anymore. they changed. you changed. then you look back and you wish that things would be the same again. but it will never. even if you gave up the new things that are so close and dear to you right now, things are never going to go back to the way they were before.

then you just sit there and think. the only thing you can really do is to reminisce. the only thing you can do is to make tea and read and pretend that everything is alright and you just melt into the self absorbed world you're living in.

thats how sad it is.

Odyssey II + Zoukout 09

2009-12-14T12:42:00.004+08:00

Odyssey II's come and gone in a flash again. When we did Odyssey, I didn't think anyone would bring everyone back for a concert again. But Jieyuan did, and we had an amazing concert, practiced and delivered in a month. Well maybe not too much of practicing for me.. But meeting the old band mates and new alumni was great.

Saturday was hell of a busy day. FTT (PASSED, FINALLY), Odyssey, then Zoukout. I almost thought I wouldn't survive zoukout. We played the Luge, drank before the guys came, then we fell.

ok la in all Zoukout was enjoyable. Every year's a different experience.

MY TOE LOOKS SIMILAR TO THIS NOW. NICE?

Off to the doc's

Boring

2009-12-05T14:22:00.003+08:00

There is nothing interesting in my life to blog about anymore. In fact, I don't even blog interestingly. No one should be reading this anymore, and when I read back on my past entries in months/years to come, I'd probably laugh at myself for being such a dull person with no writing creativity.

Life's basically been mainly comprised of work, school, haji, mahjong, bpl, dinner, supper. Boring? Somehow not. Cos I've got some pretty rad friends for company almost every night.

Can I just have more luck in MJ? Lost all my chips last night :(

Goodnight and go

2009-12-01T02:09:00.003+08:00

It's funny how I seldom am at home but am missing the parents + Megan so much now that they're out of SG. I promise I'll (try to) spend more time at home. The house's so quiet with just Ian, aunty and me. Ok only quiet when Deedee's not barking. She's been making so much noise lately.

Can't wait for Wednesday. Can't wait for Huixian and Regine to be back by then too!

xx

Maybe we should only tip a bottle back to keep us filled up

My new profile description should read: I write tons of stuff and then delete them when I'm done.

When Love Takes Over

2009-11-22T10:05:00.004+08:00

HI WORLD!

Finally in the mood for some blogging! I'd better be fast before the feeling runs out.

Supperclub with the TP people + Shang, Gabriel and Hangtong on Friday was beyond awesome! The DJ played our favourite songs, the dancefloor wasn't too packed, we had beds (and apples) and there were enough drinks. If only the jaggerbomb was better.

Hadn't seen Joyce and Jessie in ages before that night so it was great spending the night with them. I think we should all hang again some time soon, but maybe without the vodka. *winks at Joyce

We bumped into Sam Lau, who coincidentally happened to be with his OCS buddies, of which included my primary school mate(s), Benson and Jalene. Singapore is getting way to small.

After all these, everyone got up early on Saturday for our own appointments, and when dinner came, we were all too stoned. Steamboat, Liverpool vs ManC, The Proposal, and I knocked out. Seems like Regine was the only one who managed to stay up throughout the ManU game. :\

Others in FB. It's been long since I last took this many pictures.
I'm way too deprived of sleep.

Babe when the lights go out

2009-11-18T15:04:00.002+08:00

HIII I haven't been blogging so much, I've kinda 'lost touch' with Blogger. Pfft.

Life's been pretty busy lately, but in a good way. It's really funny how I really become friends with some poly mates only after graduation. Roseann, Wanru, now Pillapongpongchai. It's been a month of parties and super late nights, not that I'm complaining.

Urgh. I really should stop blogging. When I come here I get so lost about what to write, I feel like closing the window.

In short, everything's great and I'm counting down to Friday's Supperclub event with the poly mates! And, everyone should start listening to David Guetta if you haven't already done so.

The new blog

2009-11-11T11:22:00.003+08:00

No one really blogs anymore.. as long as there's Twitter. Pity it doesn't have archives.

I don't even know what to put in this space anymore! Everything I wanna share's told on Twitter. And most of my friends are on it. Beats having to check out various blogs. I love Twitter! Although it creates much trouble at times.

Bye, catch you on twitter!

After worrying that Liverpool would perform like they did in their last 4 matches, they finally showed their world-class performance against Man Utd last night.. leaving me happy beyond words. If only I'd gone out to catch the game!

Everyone played so well, even Lucas did! My uncle told me to give up on Liverpool and follow him in supporting AC Milan, but how can I do that right? There's just something about being a Liverpool fan.. you can never quit supporting them.

My No.1 !
RT @Liverpool_FC From the resulting free-kick, Nani shoots straight into Reina's grateful arms.

Funny how I thought I'd never be able to sit through an entire football match 2 years ago.
IT'S SUCH A HAPPY DAY TODAY. LOVE YA'ALL!

There's a she wolf in the closetttt

2009-10-25T14:05:00.005+08:00

Friday's Halloween Horrors @ the night safari with Stefanie, Wanru, Lingwei and Rosie was great fun! For starters we had Udders and Koi, and then we found our way to ulu Mandai to meet the animals and costumed people. First time to the night safari since my primary school days, I never thought that place was so huge!

So well made up, right?

Yesterday, my 3rd aunt celebrated at With A Pinch of Salt at Tanjong Katong, which used to be my grandparents' house. The lady boss was really nice to allow them to display our family's old photos up on the walls and over the piano! It was like some huge reunion, though we meet every Sunday. The restaurant seemed to be a mini Sims gallery for the day. Words can't describe how much I love this family I've got.

Dinner with Huixian, Stefanie and Fang Ning at Crystal Jade was good! Christine and Kenny came over to say hi, and I got my second organiser from that girl. I was supposed to be the one getting it this time round actually.. Thanks a lot woman! Us girls then went down to Zouk and I had the most embarrassing night in months... Let's not even go there. Celebrated (sorta) Fanghao's ORD and Marcus Heng got me my favourite shots, the drinks and company were wonderful.

Ok tuition in abit, then it's Liverpool VS ManUtd. Anyone wants to predict the score?

LOL, Shang

2009-10-18T00:55:00.003+08:00

I've been way too busy to upload this space, but check out Twitter. It's the new blog! Quick and you don't have to think of anything more than 140 words.

It's been a really crazy week with assignment deadlines and field practicums. Hell glad that every thing's over and I've got an extra long weekend to rest (think Friday to Monday). Glad to say that practicum went fine, though preparing the report left me with practically no sleep at all the night before.
Also met Christine for lunch one day after school, yes it's been long. Soup Spoon and B&J was great all the same. Raffles City would forever make me spoilt for choice when I go there for meals.

Well.... I think I've just had the biggest drama of my life, so big it makes 90210 seem like no biggie. Hopefully a few years down the road we'd all be laughing at this over a couple of beers.. or sour plum shots, actually.

Caught (500) Days of Summer last evening with the girls, and I liked it. Not your typical love movie, but very much real. People who have fallen out of love would probably feel for it a great deal. Nice flick. I've been catching so much movies, I know! Can't blame me that so many nice shows have been showing in the screens.

Need to head to bed, but not before the picture of the night:

Look out for it in Cine Level 5!

10 minutes before bedtime

2009-10-07T02:21:00.004+08:00

It's been crazy since October started. Children's Day was a very happy and pretty eventful day and much has happened since then. Drama, fun, laughter, tears, all within these 6 days. Amazing, isn't it?

Snippets of Oct week1.. Be back with more!

What do you really cherish? Been long since I ended an entry with a personal thought.

Family.

2009-09-24T16:07:00.004+08:00

Do you ever take time out to be appreciative of the live your parents have given you?

You know how we often say it's difficult to maintain a relationship? Well, how easy would it be, then, to keep a family a family? After all our parents are also in a relationship all this time while looking after us, right? How do they keep it going for so long? I guess most of the time it's only for the love of the family rather than each other.
Sad fact isn't it.

Anyway, Flea Titan was fun! Met many people, friends came down too (thanks), and I had fun with the girls. Skinny Pizza at House is awesome you should really try it someday.

What are we doing this weekend?

'Cause none of us were angels

2009-09-19T18:14:00.004+08:00

Pretty stoked about the long weekend cos we're gonna be at House Dempsey for FLEA TITANS III, us girls and cousins! Come by if you are thinking of how to spend Hari Raya Haji!

All assignments on hand were submitted this week, feels good to have nothing to worry about for the next few weeks! i've been turning into a movie buff and you can't really blame me because so many good shows have been coming to the screens. I Love You Beth Cooper was only average, but I kinda liked Coco Before Chanel. I wish I could also buy a one way ticket, turn up at some castle and make it my home. Life would be good.

Huixian very nicely agreed to go down to Zouk last night provided she had a pair of heels to wear, so shoe shopping we went at 1130PM! Thank goodness the shops in Cine were opened till late. Zouk was awesome with Huixian and Marcus' companies, plus the many others (TONS of them) we ran into. Looks like the people in Phuture don't ever change much. Saw some friends from secondary school too and it was pretty weird being on the dancefloor near them, but definitely nothing bad at all. Sour plum shots are nice and no one can disagree!

Now I'm paying the price for a fun night out with a throbbing head and sore throat :\ Oh well. Waiting for Huixian and all to come over for Mahjong and we'll watch Liverpool trash West Ham at midnight :) I hope pool wont spring some surprise again. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Genting 2009 (image heavy)

2009-09-14T00:13:00.010+08:00

Back in Singapore and hating the weather already. Why can't it be as cool as Genting here?

Trip up this time round was a different kind of fun. Baby-sitting fun. Megan, Tammy and I were with Er Jie and her 2 little ones running all around the theme park and playing kiddy rides.
Besides that, I think all we really did was eat non-stop. We barely even bothered walking through the mall this time round, there's usually nothing to get but shoes. So.. 3 new pairs added to the stash :)

Now I know where I got all that cam-whoring genes from.. not just mum or dad, but both of them! Even the little girls were hooked onto photobooth. "Who wants to take pictures?" and Nyx would come screaming towards the laptop. Swear we took like 200+ pictures on Photobooth

We didnt teach Dad to pose like that at all

Both of us took way too many pictures

Chocolate Wonderland!

Scared stiff of the parrot biting me anytime

Baby in a chocolate pot!

Met up with Huixian at First World last night, before we both went back to bed. Fancy us actually going up to Genting at the same time!

For Sweeyim and Wenjun

More on FB.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention..

Drop by this weekend! Will be there with the girls + cousins
Hope to see you guys there!
xx

fuck you very much

2009-09-10T02:02:00.004+08:00

You know how sometimes you feel that there is hope after all, and then realise that, right from the start it's just you being silly? It's always the dumbest things that have the most effect on me.

I find myself a such huge joke at times, judging from the things I do. So angry with myself I don't even care if I shouldn't be using profanities.

OMGGGG shoot me.

a minute to spare

2009-09-05T14:47:00.006+08:00

Feels like I haven't blogged in forever.

Get everything from Twitter! It's so convenient I hardly have anything to fill in this space anymore.

Life's getting mundane but i guess that's what to expect when you start working. It's tiring but still satisfying. Been thinking of all the little trips coming up in the next few weeks and feeling more excited.

Met up with the girls yesterday and we had Cyrstal Jade La Mian XLB. Awesome! Non-stop talking, or rather gossiping, was all good.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOYCE!

btw :D

Lousy pictures from the BB

Zouk plans had to be cancelled.. but got replaced by MJ. Totally unplanned but who's complaining?

Off to tuition, I hope I'd push myself to run later, and you've guessed as much: this post is crap.

Dreaming with a Broken Heart

2009-08-31T00:53:00.002+08:00

I really hate it when get the opportunity to turn in early, and yet stay hooked on the net till it's not early anymore.

Pretty much spent the whole of the weekend feeling somewhat sorry for myself, amidst fun spent with friends and the family. There's so much love around me, but not feelin it on me, if that even makes sense. Haha. No one can't live without nobody, but sometimes this awful feeling just creeps up on me.

Met up with Debbie mid-week and we caught up quite abit. Lovely that we're still in contact every once in awhile. Great evening, 'cept that we had a little miscommunication and I barged into Citylink's ThaiExpress only to realize D was at Raffles City. Miss the days when we just went crazy during TAS days. Welcome to Taiwan yo! V V V V V

Potlucked at Jerome's place last night; we actually started close to 10. Supper or dinner, I wonder. Great food though! Loved Julia's 'earthquake' brownie, as I'd like to call it. We caught Liverpool beat Bolton.. poor start but thank God they caught up behind. Lovin' Johnson's presence!

Watched The Last House on the Left, which was pretty gruesome. Feifei's before bed was pretty sinful but satisfying as usual.

Huixian called earlier on and we're both gonna be in Genting at the same time! Can't wait. Did some itinerary planning with the cousins earlier in the evening too; Jakarta is gonna be super R&R! Can't do long trips, but many short trips should suffice. :)

The scar on my arm's upsetting me more. and more.

Corner Top Kart

2009-08-23T03:19:00.003+08:00

Awesome weekend it's been! Havent had such a long Saturday in ages, given that I usually get up past 12.

Friday was spent shopping with michelle, before having dinner with the east-side boys together with Huixian & Sweeyim. After a beer (a couple for the guys), we headed off to bowl! Lost 2 jugs of beers to Maxi's side but we redeemed ourselves during round 2. That's for laughing at us, Maxi!
MJ-ed after that to curb Ms Soon's itchy fingers, which was damn entertaining with Maxi's constant whining. Sometimes I wonder why he wasn't born a girl.

With 2-hr nap, Huixian and I went on our way to meet the guys at Hougang Pt! Set off for JB after breakfast, and we arrived at Corner Top Kart in an hour or so. Awesome time there I swear! The track's much larger than Batam's, and they've got 160cc and 390cc karts.

It was crazy fun, even though I left with multiple bruises and a huge burn on my arm, not to mention an unwanted tan. I'd wanna go there again. The Sims would love it!

LOVED IT!

Now that I'm aching all over and it's raining cats and dogs, time to get knocked out.

Singapore Bay Run

2009-08-16T23:43:00.004+08:00

Each time I do a 10k makes the whole day seem special to me, however tired I end up being.

So, third run conquered yay! Once again I woke up to the thought of skipping the run. Who'd like getting up at 530 on a Sunday morning for a run anyway.
1:25:36. That's like 2 mins or so faster than the previous time. Ohwell. Was hoping I'd done better. Haha.
Kimberly clocked 72mins for her first 10km. Damn proud of her. Then again, i've gotta defend myself by saying Kim's an athlete. :D
Wanru and jieming were there too, but silly wans left her championchip at home! But she still finished it with no prior training. Good job!

Next up, Swissotel Vertical Marathon. Can't wait! Wonder how it's gonna be like, if my legs will be able to take it. But I bet the scenary at the top would be totally breathtaking.

I'm supposed to be finishing my assignment which is due tomorrow, but here I am blogging. Awesone or what.

Just planned for some short getaways in the following few months and feeling damn excited! When you start working, even a short holiday in Sentosa would feel as exciting as going to Phuket. And of course my getaways do not include Sentosa, don't be silly.

STILL FEELING LAZY. HOW.

NYX FIX PLS

2009-08-14T01:05:00.003+08:00

All the cousins have been posting up pictures from the Batam trip.. Makes me wish we were back there again, doing nothing. That is really bliss man. If I ever go there again, I shall not complain about having nothing to do. Beats having a huge workload on your shoulders. :(

Went for a run this evening. Yeah, finally right? It was bloody exhausting and my lack of stamina brought down the motivation for the run again.. (plus the fact that the race shirt is disgusting) Sigh seems like it's gonna be the SG Bay Walkathon for me again.

I've been really missing one of the toddlers lately.. To think I was so reluctant to leave the N1s a couple of months back. But no one can beat Nyx la.. My, and probably everyone else in the Sims, favourite kid.

CUTE RIGHT CUTE RIGHT CUTE RIGHT?

Couple of pictures of a few of us in Batam

Can't wait to see Nyx and the others this weekend.. Birthday Celebration for AH and Megan!

I feel lucky and satisfied with what I have now :)

WAKE UP

2009-08-10T23:11:00.006+08:00

Hi I'm back from Batam! Feeling strangely exhausted, because the resort had nothing for us to do at all. Still, it was all fun with the wonderful family who the trip pretty well planned.

We were on the road alot, travelling to places for food (SUPERB BTW), massages, pedicures and manicures,go karting, etc. Going to indo each time really makes me feel like king. I washed my hair for fun because it costs less than SGD1.50 for a wash and blow over there. Really wish I'd have the time to go Jakarta with mummy later in the year :(

Played slapjack back in the resort (managed to finish the btl of Absolut), captain's ball, and had some girlie talk. Love my family for being this happening, even in a resort with almost no amenities. Nyx was totally pampered by everyone she practically didnt have tp put her shoes on at all. We were all queueing to carry her. So mischievous but totally lovable.

Wish I had pictures now but the digicam had to spoil a few days before. Couldn't even get pictures of the costume party on Saturday. It was Weiyi and Nyx's birthday party and almost everyone dressed up as a cartoon character! Gotta say the best dressed had to be AY's Joker imitation, on top of Er Jie as Pocahantas and Kim's Kim Possible.

Megan and I kinda failed in our Wilma and Betty (you know, from Flintstones?) attires. Ok maybe it was only me who failed haha.

Tell me how can I not love my family?

Back to work tomorrow, 3 more days to the weekend!

2009-08-06T13:00:00.007+08:00

In the past week, I've made mistakes and done some stuff that's made me proud of myself.

I've learnt that although sometimes competition is good, competition can cause a catastrophe too. What's important is the effort one inputs.
I so need to get organized and set my priorities, like mummy's been saying. I haven't been absent from home so much since my last relationship which, come to think of it, was very long ago!
So tiring these 2 weeks have been that I had to call in sick this morning. Now I've got time to sort things out. Thinking ikea shopping soon, anyone?

Maybe i should cut down on tuition and just teach Ian instead. Is it a fact that it's harder to teach your own family member than and outsider? Sigh.

During the photoshoot earlier this week Koonann got talking about the supernatural and he mentioned this Nenek Keropok. Anyone's heard of it?? Totally scared the shit out of me when I got home. To make things worst, I think I actually heard some knocks on my main door at 3am last night. Hopefully it was the wind though the wind doesnt usually sound like this and I wasn't feeling any wind from outside.

TOTALLY HAIR STAND OK.

Pls nenek I dont want keropok don't come and find me. :(

Coupla candid pictures we took at the shoot. Really fun :D

Rosette and Violette dress
Tri Colour block dress. I really really love the colours of this dress! Makes me feel happy
Can anyone figure out what we were trying to depict in this picture?

May i also add that we got ourselves a wonderful photographer who's also a great friend of mine. Otherwise the pictures probably wouldn't turn out this well 'cos cam-noobs like us don't know how to operate the flash properly.

PRISSYEMILY.LIVEJOURNAL

August weekends are gonna be spent at Batam, the SG Bay Run, and then Msia. Also, my teacher's day off. When was the last time Teacher's Day was a holiday for you? :D

Exciting much? Very!

Bye Xabi

2009-08-05T15:56:00.000+08:00

This area is so underused now because of the hectic schedule I've had for the past 2 wks.

Played excessive mahjong (how about 4 times in a wk), met up with people I haven't seen in quite awhile, etc. Man it's been exhausting! Not that I'm complaining.

Sad that Xabi still decided to leave (after all that pleading at the national stadium and everywhere else I bet), but can't wait to see lfc on tv soon.

back to lessons. Going to sch always makes me crave for a baby..

PrssyEmily Collection II coming up!

This is Anfield!

2009-07-27T18:37:00.004+08:00

Woohoo! i think my $88 was very well spent yesterday. With Carragher half naked throughout the 2nd half, Torres and Alonso changing in front of me, and 5 goals from the boys, what's not to enjoy? The crowd was hysterical, full of GUYS going Marry me, Torres! Sitting at the lower grandstand, I think we had a pretty good view of the game (as well as the players; they were right in front of us).

This is how crowded it was at 5pm

My pictures are very grainy though :\ Wish I'd borrowed Koonann's camera or smth. Bet he'd love to see his cam full of Liverpool photos :D

My very first Live football game and I caught LFC. So glad they stopped by Singapore this year :) Next time ima travel to Anfield and catch their game(s).

My eye's still bad and I've been going out in specs over the weekend. Not. Nice. At. All. Some help here?

sheena: haha yeah :)

wans: HAHAHA BITCH!

JS: oh i enjoyed it a great lot,thanks

The Gold Standard

2009-07-24T01:47:00.002+08:00

I've been seriously overworked this week. Everyday I feel more and more lethargic and now there's some growth under my eyelid, which is caused by insufficient sleep according to Jackie. :( Bad week.

Finally got to de-stress when I went to catch Harry Potter at GV Gold Class. It was so comfortable that I fell asleep hahaha. After seeing Harry visiting Hagrid, the next thing I saw was Dumbledore dying. Was that alot that I missed out? Everyone should try Gold Class at least once! Never known that so many people actually dont mind paying 28 bucks for a movie.

Before I fall asleep,

2009-07-18T11:56:00.007+08:00

Hi people! Weekends come by really fast now when you're working and studying. Finally I don't have to wake up early to the alarm clock but I don't know why I can't stay asleep any longer :(

Been so busy with school and work, if not appointments with the girlfriends. Seems like it's impossible to be able to sleep early anymore. Man it's really difficult having to juggle school work and work work. I need to be more organised.

Anyway, Stefanie's back!! Us girls met for supper at 126 on Monday before hanging by Alcove's poolside to chitchat with 3kg of rambutans. Felt good! Met up with Christine for a belated birthday dinner too.

Family went to Tao's to celebrate my birthday with the Ho's. Food was good as usual but I'm starting to get sick of it. No more Tao's till next year, at least. Twice a year is too much! Still wondering how Paradiz Center got its new name. Seriously, Po Mo? What on earth does it mean. It's like some hanyu pinyin thing, bo PO MO fo, don't you think?

Met up with Sylvia for yet another belated birthday dinner on Thursday! Sorry I MIA-ed for so long; was really busy the past few weeks! Nice catching up with her, as usual. They had this Japanese Food Fair going on at PS and we were damn fascinated by the mini donut machine. There was even a square shaped watermelon which cost $199, no kidding. So precious it was manned by a sales lady who squealed 'cannot touch ah!! read the sign!!' each time someone's finger came within a 10cm radius of the fruit.
This is pretty grainy cos we were trying out the BB's camera

Yesterday, Stefanie, Sweeyim and I caught The Haunting In Connecticut which wasn't so scary but not too bad, except that we were late and had trouble trying to understand the full story. Somebody explain?
Then YT joined us and we went to LJS, just like sweeyim had guessed. YT is getting so predictable.
We bumped into the MJR boys and it looked like we were having some mini mjr gathering outside Cine. Next time we should all just hang outside Cine and wait to bump into people because everyone just stands and bums around there all the time.
Rest of the night was spent with other friends.. and it was good, I must say. On a random note, I think girls are really silly creatures.

I just bought a life savings plan and told my dad I'm gonna pay my bills on my own. What responsibility! I got really scared after signing the documents, scared that I've have trouble trying to cope with all the payments. Did some financial planning on my own, and let's hope I wouldn't have to spend the last week of every month eating grass. Insurance, hp bills, credit card bills. Don't these terms scare you??

I want to sleep :(
Headache be gone.

2009-07-12T22:54:00.008+08:00

Many thanks to everyone who made the effort to surprise me during my birthday!

Didnt expect more to come towards the end of the night but I got 2 more cakes (one of which home made..) and

Woohoo! Feeling extra loved this birthday. :)

Pictures from dinner with the family
Swollen eyes

Surprise from the staff of Orchard Hotel. Was impressed by their efficiency and service. Food spread was good too!

Blogger's being a bitch with the photo uploading today. Pfft.

Went to Clarence's 21st which ended at Partyworld.. I don't know how too.
Wouldn't you like to say something and be able to do it immediately?

Like you say.. "I want a Ferrari". Then you go straight to the showroom and make the downpayment for one. Some people just have all the luck.

Happy Birthday!

Giving up on uploading anymore.

Happy Birthday!

2009-07-09T01:57:00.004+08:00

I'm 20! Which makes this blogname pretty invalid, doesn't it?

Damn glad I've got this bunch on girls I can count on to turn my lousy day around and make it one of my best nights ever.

YT brought with her a box of Royce chocolate when she met me.. and we had dinner at Shokudo. Nothing beats girl time, really. After we split up at Eunos, she appeared in my living room with Huixian and Sweeyim after I came out of the shower!

Surprise got slightly blown but their gesture really brought a mega huge smile to my face. THANKS GIRLS!
Fell for their 'we bought you a bear leh" trick last week.. and I really got slightly upset because my closest people would know that I do not collect soft toys..

This has gotta be the most expensive bear I've come across and I love it!
Thank you - Huixian, Yingting, Sweeyim, Stefanie, Lecia, Kaiwen, Wanru & Jungang

Thanks to my dearest primary school friend too.. who called and sang me a birthday song.. then brought me supper.

I don't know how I'm gonna finish them but thanks Kitmin!

Thanks everyone for your msgs, facebook msgs all. Really appreciate it!

I am very, very happy tonight :)

24hours to 20.

2009-07-08T18:32:00.017+08:00

My screwed last day as a 'teen'.

I made up to school today, loose powder, blusher all. So excited about celebrating my birthday tonight.

Then the sky turned gray and it began to drizzle. I was too lazy to bring my umbrella out because I didn't want to go to ner lugging a laptop and heavy bag. The moment I stepped out of the lift it began to pour. So I went back up, resigning to the fact that I had to bring an umbrella with me. The rain stopped when I got home. I thought I'd take my chances and rush out because all I needed to do was get to the bus stop and my journey would be sheltered all the way. I left home and made my way down to the main road.

The rain came down doubly hard than it initially was. TA MA DE!

I still made a dash for it, and this man in a car honked, offering me a brolly. So nice to see such Singaporeans around.

Then my dinner appointment got cancelled. Haha I got pretty speechless and more convinced that the rest of my day was gonna suck.
To think I'd insisted with my tutee on changing his tuition day and argued with mummy for making this day free for my friend and not my aunt who'd given me a huge red packet. All of a sudden I've become super free.

I guess people have different priorities in their lives.

I wanted to get to Starbucks for a Javachip and there wasn't an empty table.

FML FML FML FML FML

Waiting for YT now; maybe we'd be able to explore our BBs together and perhaps have Sakae again, like we did on this day 2 years ago.

Wimbledon 2009

2009-07-06T01:36:00.003+08:00

After 4+ hours (and some luck) Roger Federer's finally a record-breaking champion!

It's crazy that they played till 17-15 in the final set and Andy Roddick so deserves the winning title.. Guess this is the closest Roddick has ever gotten to winning Wimbledon. Really thought that he'd just beat Federer. Shows how unexpected everything can be.

Oh well. Someone had to win right.

Final set play so long. Finally I can get to my assignment.

Happy Birthday 1

2009-07-04T11:31:00.005+08:00

Skyped with Stefanie yesterday! Somehow skype couldnt detect my camera (help, somebody?) so I could only see Stef's face and open a picture of me to take a screen shot:

HAHAHA

Yesterday I was reading some blogs and couldn't stop thinking of the selfish nature of people. Just saw Jianling's FB and something he wrote kinda depicted a little of how I felt:
"the person that really knows you inside out is the one that you don't really care about"
Since when jianling became such a philosopher I do not know, but it makes sense doesn't it?

Last night was fun while it lasted for me. Music was so so, Phuture was too crowded, but the company was awesome.

Many thanks!

To J, for being the earliest to wish me Happy Birthday because he doesn't remember the actual date. First he thought I was turning 21, then he got the date wrong. Hello, buddy???

To Huixian and Sweeyim, who accompanied me last night, laughed at me (huixian i saw you), and for being some of my most cherished friends. xx

To Maxi, Ivan and Marcus, for the generous present of 20 apple shooters, numerous jaggerbombs and the sick feeling I've got in my stomach right now. Thanks ah!!

Thanks Zach and Xav for coming down too! Really really happy to see them guys there last night.

After July, it's gonna be just mahjong on weekends. No more shots.

Anyway, it's a Federer-Roddick final at Wimbledon tomorrow! Totally unexpected but so looking forward to it.

Ciao!

Revive.

2009-07-03T01:15:00.003+08:00

It's been so hectic at work, I'm glad school's started. Michelle and I decided to treat ourselves to Asian Kitchen (again) haha. They've got really great mango dessert! New module's damn dry and I totally couldn't absorb anything at all. Somehow my eyelids were super heavy.

Most of my time online has been spent searching for craftwork ideas and materials for the new school.. damn tiring. Seems like the tiring part of pre-school teaching isn't the changing of diapers and looking after kids, but rather the preparation of lesson plans. But srsly, on top of all these, a smile/hug from any one of the kids everyday makes me happy enough.

cy told me so much about the Blackberries today, I can't wait to get my hands on one. Wanna get Curve but it doesn't have 3G. How.

Friday's here again so soon! I think M and I are going to Awfully Chocolate today, can't wait! maybe that time of the month's coming for me too. Ha.

Weekend's gonna be a blast; till then!

Twitterbug

2009-06-30T01:19:00.004+08:00

Twitter's been taking up alot of my time recently, even though it doesn't have anything besides status updating.

It's damn fun la!

Look what I saw on Torres' Twitter (besides news of his marriage :( :( :( ):
"wouldn't go anywhere for money when I wouldn't be happy. That would be greedy and that not me. I'll be at Liverpool as long as they want me"

LOOK, MAXI.

July's coming and i cant wait for the kop to be here.

Start twittering!

It won't be long till we return happy

2009-06-26T00:12:00.011+08:00

Caught an episode of The Accidental Couple with Dad after I got home this evening. Korean dramas can always get me hooked even though I don't start from the beginning. They are that good. Baek Seong-Hyun is damnnnnn cute please

He's only 20. Lucky chap. They say the only good looking koreans are those you see on TV. And those on TV are super delicious-ly cute! HAHA

TGIF. Its been such a busy week preparing lesson plans, getting online resources. That above shopping, playing hilarious boardgames and L4D w huixian, wanying and kelly. I hate being unable to play these games btw. motion sickness sucks

Last week's commissioning ball was wonderful. I loved the table set-up, loved the food even more but almost couldn't stand the MC. Dearest Edwin was in the limelight within the first 10 minutes of the ball for his toilet pose. I think I saved him from being known as gayboy too. :) 6 of us ended up at Helipad at the end of the night to chitchat but I think everyone was too shagged. Nice place though.

Best Platoon

Chuishan was there!
So was Cherie

Steamboat @ Roseann's was damn good, as usual. Way too much food but we polished off all the pork strips and prawns! Can we steamboat again pleaseeee roseann yeo!

Wanru was giving me a lift and this happened
Couldn't believe our luck! hahaha damn shocking.

Went down to zouk. Even with all that hype about Butter, I still think nothing beats Zouk. But Butter so popular, even swine flu (flew) in. HEHE feeling damn lame tonight.
Saw quite abit of familiar faces there and we had enough drinks to feel happy throughout the whole night. Thanks M!

On a final note, STARTED YOUR GSS SHOPPING YET?? It sucks that mummy's been taking leave and I can't shop with her and megan. But sister and I got quite alot of stuff when we met on Wed. Very very happy!

TEEHEE!

Have a great weekend people.

Bad week ahead

2009-06-23T01:28:00.002+08:00

I thought today was gonna suck because I opened up my last pair of lens and one of them was torn.

Then I helped to look after the N2s for a minute and a kids got bumped in the head by another boy. I thought Monday wasn't gonna get better at all but thank goodness that was the end of the unfortunate events.. till we went to the optician and he said I can only get my lens by Friday the earliest. 4eyedamelia@hotmail.com this week :(

The weekend was one of the greatest in months though there was no MJ, but that's for tomorrow to talk about because cher needs to sleep. Listened to Hokey Pokey and whatnots till the clock fast forwarded to 1230am.

(not so)Awesome Xavier just murdered me with one of his killer conversations.
(bah) on msn = lambchop know?

Smilers never lose, and frowners never win

2009-06-19T07:35:00.003+08:00

Yesterday was one of my favourite day spent with the family, even though they were an hour late in picking me up because of a movie which they eventually concluded as a stupid show.

Together with Sweeyim, the family men and I went ice skating while the ladies went to sing. Was really nice being on ice after ages. Brought back much memories of the Seconday 1 days when we used to skate weekly. I didn't see the mute guy yesterday though! Last I heard he was back at work there.

The downside was that I've got work in awhile and Dad had to send me home before returning to Kallang to sing with Mum and Megan. Upsetting!

Been preparing stuff decorative stuff for the new school lately and I've been making nursery rhyme posters. You'd be surprised to know that a few childhood songs actually contain pretty meaningful lyrics. I was, at least.

So let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Smilers never lose, and frowners never win
So let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

Happy Birthday to a couple of friends.. Xavier's probably knocked out already or getting really really high.

I realise I was kinda expecting something more from a certain action of mine, but what was I really asking for I do not know. It's been so long after all. I think I've done quite abit of things which I've ended up regretting.

Been in a mad rush since initially-cancelled plans to attend Edwin's comm ball got confirmed again. It's in 2 days and I haven't decided on a dress to wear yet. Almost all throughout tuition the brain was trying to figure out how to fully utilize the 1.5 hours I have to prepare and get to St Regis by 7. Somehow I've got the feeling that I'm still gonna end up late.

Bag, checked. Perfume, checked. Jewellery, checked. Nails, checking. (I still am damn amazed by what Top coat can do to damaged nail colours. It's a huge saviour for klumzy klutz-es like me). Dress, unchecked. shoes, UNCHECKED. SHIT.

Thank goodness I've got 2 ladies at home and photobooth. Got mummy to play around with the application together and it was damn good fun. Hehe.

ok nails are almost dry i need to pack up.

Something my friend sent me this afternoon:
It's inevitable that Ronaldo would follow Kaka to Madrid. A brazilian is always followed by an irritating cunt.
HAHA. no offense to Ronaldo's fans! Just found that pretty amusing :P

:O

2009-06-17T07:19:00.004+08:00

I just woke up from a dream in which all my lingerie disappeared and got replaced with countless pairs of black stockings

2009-06-15T20:24:00.005+08:00

For the first time in my life, I'm finding myself missing lessons now that there's a 2 week holiday. I think many classmates are sharing my sentiments too, because it means we have to work every day.

The weekend was pretty fun but exhausted me really badly. Started off my GSS shopping by adding 2 new pairs of shoes to the wardrobe before joining the colleagues at Sakura for a staff welcome dinner. Bowled with Huixian and Sweeyim, then we played mahjong with jungang till 8 in the morning. Crazy I know. Devil woman zi mo-d 13 yao, my eyes almost came out of their sockets.

Saturday was spent nua-ing at Christine's singing and playing Guitar Hero 2! Simple but great fun. Can't wait to go over again (you hear, cheo?). I survived the day without opening the can of Redbull I got but totally knocked out in the bus and missed my stop in the end.

Sunday was family day, as usual, but this week there was no tuition so we went to Chinatown for lunch and dessert! Did yoga at Equatorial which gave me aches everywhere this morning.

Megan just commented that she thinks Deedee is getting old because she's slowed down in her movement :(
and because "her hair is white"

Wash your body wash your hands too *clapclap

Can't stand it, I need to sleep.

2009-06-10T23:27:00.002+08:00

Like YT and a few others who've reminded me since last year, it came to mind today that, in a month or so, this blog's gonna need a new address.

Seems like it was not too long ago when we had to ask each other to transfer $2 to our POSB accounts so we'd be able to withdraw that last $20 inside. Now when Huixian says we go to Malaysia, we go to Malaysia. That's the good side of growing towards adulthood. Downside is, life gets more and more complicated, full of emotions, a lot of everything. Oh well.

Getting home at 5 this afternoon was sweet. Spent the evening on the comp facebooking, preparing for tomorrow's class, and facebooking some more. Many many stuff went through my head, from old memories to plans for the next few weeks. No concrete activities planned but somehow I feel excited about stuff I could be doing. If I actually make myself move.

Ok work's gonna take a whole 10 hours tomorrow. No Redbull at work. Time for bed.

Dirty laundry

2009-06-10T01:31:00.004+08:00

It seems almost close to impossible to find someone whom you can click with instantly, related to easily, and feel most at ease with. Many times you tell yourself you don't need someone like that in your life right now, but when it's not one of those "many-times" days, you really wish you had someone like that who feels the same towards you too.

I think I'm gonna grow dependent on Red Bull one fine day. Presentation's finally over which means we can relax for the rest of the schooling days! Can't say the same for work because there seems to be a never ending list of stuff to do even though I only go to the center twice a week. Damn tired. Good thing those kids can make me smile anytime.

Apart from mahjong last weekend, joined Xavier and the rest at Stratton Dr(/Rd?) to celebrate Xav, Kenny and Ben's bday. Those guys created one of the funniest homemade videos i've ever seen. Really got me in stitches watching them record it lol.

I hope you haven't gotten aroused by them, esp Xav. Go catch the original Satisfaction by Benny Benassi and the video would probably make much more sense!

After the party we went to play L4D and silly me, having no experience playing such games except for the one time I tried CS and almost puked, ended up having motion sickness once again. Pfft. It's really fun being the zombie though. Me love Boomer.

2 Red Bulls for me tomorrow if I still continue staying online. Nighto

Roland Garros 2009

2009-06-07T23:19:00.002+08:00

Finally a Roland Garros trophy belonging to Roger Federer! It was beautiful watching that tear roll down his face. Lol I think I'm sounding every bit like some freak who's never seen someone tear before.

Just wondering how on earth that weirdo managed to run up to Federer during the match.. What happened to the security?

Anyhow, like my lecturer likes to always say, it was beautiful.

I wanna scream I Love You from the top of my lungs

2009-06-06T06:27:00.004+08:00

School's started full swing just after one week! It's strange working with older people, so strange that I'm putting in much more effort than I ever did for any one of the past assignments I did in TP. This accelerated course is demanding :(

Finally saved myself from suicide at mahjong this ~~evening~~ morning. Devil woman and man are too fierce. I can see this being a routine in weeks to come; 3 rounds of mj on fridays! That'd be sweet.

This is us when we met up early this week:

I think I look so much younger like this.

Time to hit the sacks and plan for the weekend.

That's more than 5 minutes faster than the Nike Run!

Singapore Bay Run, target below 80 minutes. Go go go!

wans: very very shiok!! hope I wont lose this interest. run run!

Accomplishment

2009-05-31T22:39:00.006+08:00

Finally completed the run that I almost decided to miss till the day itself. Surprisingly, last night's run was more smooth sailing and felt much easier than the Nike Human Race. I think I even clocked a better timing. Haha. Only wish there'd been more than 1 water station..

Proud of the 2 girls who joined me and crashed the run too. Cheers to Debbie who did her 2nd Sundown Marathon and Ben who almost completed the 84! I think I really should try making running a weekly affair already. Once I find the time and energy.. and motivation.

Singapore Bay Run, wanru let's go!

On a sidenote, I return to school from tomorrow on! Part of me's excited and glad I'm going back to study again. The best thing is, during orientation, a certain classmate and I found out that we were schoolmates from MBS. Huge coincidence. Only thing I'm gonna hate is the train squeeze to Raffles Place.

Swear tonight's been my shortest day awake ever. just 7 hours out of bed and I'm gg back to it now. Night all!
-----
n3r: ya i know! damn excited about seeing them!

wans: heh thanks! yes eh sign up soon!

And you'll never walk alone.

2009-05-23T18:49:00.004+08:00

2009-05-19T22:58:00.009+08:00

Today marked yet another milestone in my life.

It was really great seeing so so many faces that I used to see on a regular basis for the past 3 years once again. Acquaintances, SSM & Culinary groupmates, project mates, year 1 classmates, etc. It's quite hard to believe that from today on, I'm no longer a TP student. Matric card also no more already :(

So glad my family came, thankful for their patience while I was running about snapping pictures with almost everyone familiar who walked past me. Dad was so amused to meet twin Joyce he got 3 of us to take a picture together.

When I saw them HTMers walking across the stage one by one, I couldnt help feeling a mixture of sadness and happiness. So glad that I got to meet such wonderful people, though most of whom I might not see in the near future. So sad to know that we won't have the chance to walk down Sports hall looking for our exam seats, or rush down the corridors of TP BUS to get to our tutorials.

Thank you, friends, for making studying in TP such a fun time. Thank you, HTM lecturers, for being the hippest teachers and feeding us with so much knowledge. Goodbye is always hard to say, but goodbye also means Hello to another phase of life, so Goodbye, TP!

Random (more than a) few. Rest are on FB.

Please please please. You cannot give them the title!! Not tonight.

I'm feeling really cranky now with the hour's sleep I had last night. Work's been really really tiring this week somehow, having had to still go down to school this morning though it was pretty fun having class with the other teachers. I was struggling so badly to stay awake I had to do a Darren:

Whoever can sit through a 10-hour long first aid course?? 2 more Saturdays to go :(

Angels and Demons with the girls was good though. So exciting. After a week slogging at work, it's really nice when I get to meet them ladies and bitch, gossip, complain, everything.

o fuck manu! :(

Christine and I had a pretty simple yet good dinner last night over talks about everything random. We had a super budget evening. Meet me more and I'll be able to spend less :)

Anyway, random but I can't wait for grad day! Lunch with Rose and Wanru, and the parents are finally coming to TP to see me. Only when I end my journey with TP. Tsk. Still glad their taking time out anyhow! The last time they took leave for any of my school affair was probably before I even turned 16.

Ok look at my new hair

Peekaboo's the new MJ when you're in Globalkids

Mr Goodbye

2009-05-12T22:47:00.003+08:00

Stupid korean drama's making me wanna meet a korean and fall in love. Why don't they have good looking concierge in Singapore?? Why are there no/few young GMs in Singapore??
But I don't understand why the korean girl doesn't get mad when he makes her get out of the car in the middle of nowhere and leaves her to go home on our own.

Why can't these love stories be true.. and why can't RL love stories have good looking people?

Watch Mr Goodbye!! The show's leaving me with laughter and heartaches. So lovely.
-----
roseann: i do not use emily ok!! too much love stories lately heh.

JS: good luck in realising your dream

n3r: I'M SO SO SORRY :(((

Stay away from Juliet

2009-05-12T00:07:00.002+08:00

Tonight I'm once again thinking back on the past and how nothing much is quite the same anymore.

Last night I attended the wedding of a family friend. He shared with us the day he got together with his (now) wife. It was a very simple affair of guy buying girl flowers, girl giving guy a hug, guy and girl together. I don't think people really do things this way anymore, and it's quite sad, isn't it?

I wish I could learn to be easily contented again. And stop dreaming, because dreams, they seldom come true. People can work hard trying to realise their dreams, but some dreams can just never be attained, even if you put your whole life and heart into it.

So much of the past that I'd like to relinquish, but those are always going to be memories I'll only be able to smile back on.

Here's my irritating smile for you (:

Pon de Replay

2009-05-09T10:51:00.007+08:00

I don't know what's been causing the bouts of bad moods and a very short tempered me lately, PMS perhaps. The slightest things have been annoying the hell out of me but I'm glad I haven't taken it out on anyone. Or maybe a little on Christine cos she was late! Heh sorry dear.

I found my cure to this: retail therapy. Spent more than I was supposed to but it felt goooood. New stuff are no longer new anymore though. Because they all happened to come in handy yesterday! Can't wait to start on Vanishing Acts.
Christine was very nice to accompany me into every shop I said i wanted to go into and be my personal accountant for a day. Definitely made me feel much better. In the end the only place where we could have our super late dinner was at 7-11.

(from Christine)

Went to Butter Factory to try my luck entering. If not for a friend bringing me in, I'd have gone home right after reaching there. Srsly, I felt so turned off by the sight of the queue! Wonder how those girls can dress to the nines and stand queueing for over an hour in their heels. Skipped that queue but still had to wait 20 minutes to deposit my barang barang. So angry can! I think they've got one of the worst queue controls. The bouncer was unable to push away some girls who cut queue (that bitch simply ignored him throughout his attempts to get her to queue) so he just gave up. Wtf. Gotta give credit to zouk for their efficiency. Thank god it wasn't too bad inside, just damn crowded. After a couple of hours I was out and queueing for my stuff again. (new flipflops came in handy here). Supper was probably the best part of the night.

I stole pictures from Rosie Posie's blog (don't mind ah!) taken during our 3 (wo)man steamboat cum bitchfest dinner on Labour Day!

Sylvia and I still had mini steamboat when we met the other day. Eat until so full lately. It's so unfair that it doesnt take much to down a Mcdonald's EVM but so much effort to run. :(

How wordy this is. I'm falling asleep now. Good night
-----
rain: hey loraine! ya we haven't spoken since you went back to aussie :\ I'm good here! hope you are too. see you online soon ok.

HUIXIAN: HANNA GIVE YOU BACK LA HAHAH. I've finally bought a new book! you go stuff that baby sweeyim's mouth.

nic: dvd pls thanks

Good morning sunshine

2009-05-08T09:28:00.003+08:00

Sometimes when I reach a crossroad, I always end up making the wrong decision, e.g. deciding to ta pao macs at 6.15 when tuition's at 630, deciding to miss countless cabs and walk out to the main road with my colleague only to find the road suddenly void of cabs.. you get my drift. It's happened so many times this week.

Now it's 9.30 and raining, work's at 10 and I'm still home. Finally a wise decision to not go out in the rain! 'Cos cousin dearest is coming to give me a lift. I've got a feeling it could just be my lucky day today.

TGIF!!

Accompany me?

2009-05-07T00:14:00.003+08:00

Been reading this book lately and it's left me in deep thoughts, whether it is actually possible for two people who've never seen each other to fall in love with one another. Why do these never happen in real life, and why can people actually think of such stories? I never fail to be amazed (and hopelessly praying to have such a love story too).

The effect love stories have on me...

Kids.

2009-05-04T23:09:00.002+08:00

No more Darren and Gabriel every morning, no more eye candy on 196. Change of class, change of work schedule. I've never been a fan of changes, and this time is no exception :(

I was in the N2 class this morning, and the N1s ( Darren etc) were outside preparing to head downstairs to play. Suddenly Darren and Arden walked into the room and the boy came to pull me out of class. "Teacher Amelia, it's time to go"

I could've just melted on the spot.

Images of these kids can always stay etched in my mind, but by next week the N1s are gonna forget Tr Amelia, and 10 years down the road, none of them is gonna remember their pre school teachers. At least I've got these mental photographs to keep. :D

Hop, Skip, Jump

2009-04-29T00:17:00.004+08:00

2 more working days till the long weekend.. time surely flies when work isn't a drag. I'm still slightly upset to know that I won't be taking the N1s when school starts :(

I've been having way too much ice cream for my own good these few days.

I can only blame these 2 places that I've visited 3 days straight (once at udders, twice at ICC), if not Debbie and mummy! Still dying to bring the girls there but siglap is pretty inconvenient without a car. Other friends don't even live in the east, lagi cannot bring them there. Pfft. BTW, is it me or does Udders' logo remind you of blogspot's logo too?

We celebrated YT's 20th last week at waraku, (which means the next celebration would be mine :( ), lepak-ed at mackers before catching Friday the 13th. Lovely, lovely time that I wish I could have more of.

Finally caught up with Debbie yesterday too! Dinner was filled with gossip and the waddups in our lives, and then she brought me to Udders, which has the best durian ice cream I've ever eaten (Mao Shan Wang Durian). Can't wait to try their upcoming Jaggerbomb flavour.

More pictures soon! and Ya Christine, next week i promise! if you don't mind a slightly late dinner. unless you're free over the weekend!

6 hours of sleep can't give me enough energy to watch the kids. I was so tired this morning, I fell asleep in the bus and missed my stop. Speaking of them, I've got a couple of stuff about work to share!
1) today I took the class on my own for the first time (YAY) It definitely is difficult to get 12 3-year-olds to sit and listen for even 15mins.
2) everytime we eat I have to go "Gabriel, chew" and it always makes me laugh, because I've got a friend called Gabriel Chew. It's like I'm calling the friend who's not there!
3) i think kids nowadays are very smart because those that I don't know by name know who am I even though we brush past each other when going to/leaving the toilet.

Kids are the best. No trouble, no complications.

Bedtime

2009-04-27T00:51:00.003+08:00

Every night before I fall asleep, many things go through my mind and it's only after much thinking that the mind finally shuts down for the night.

Tonight, I'm thinking of my Paloma's Crown of Hearts.
Of random phone calls to and from Christine.
Of Stefanie's cry-one-minute,laugh-the-next voice
Of Sweeyim's sleepy face last night.
Of Yingting's birthday dinner.
Of Sylvia and the stories of Taiwan she's gonna tell me soon.
Of the many friends I'll be seeing this week.
Of the busy week I'm gonna have.
Of the little kids.
Of the time when I used to fall asleep in the arms of another.

Goodnight, world.

Jensen's student: My family and I are good, thanks. hope you are too.

Have you even found yourself amusing over how ridiculous we sometimes are, tiring ourselves out thinking how right the wrong always seems to be...?

It's so tiring trying to have a social life while working.. But it feels really good being able to share some laughs with the girlfriends.. or ogle at some shoes after a day of 'Jamie drink your water' 'Edward you wanna sleep with the toddlers is it?' etc.

Met up with Maxi and the guys at Jerome's place last week for Shawn's birthday steamboat and a little poker. It was really nice seeing them all after so long. Perhaps they're all just really friendly people but it still felt so comfortable being around them, I wish we could meet up more. I fell in love with the oyster mushrooms Julia grilled! better than enoki mushrooms.

Basket Blogger auto deleted some stuff that I typed! This is damn annoying. Can't stand the html shit. I was just saying that YT and I visited Uniqlo this evening and it wasn't too impressive IMO. But TampOne would probably make us meet up at Tampines more often in the future 'cos of the many shops and F&B outlets they've got.. very convenient.

Can't wait for the pri school exams to be over. Next few weeks are gonna be so hectic. Excited about seeing DD, Syl, Wanru and Rose soon though!

Go Liverpool!

Ugly people

2009-04-17T18:22:00.006+08:00

I had the most frightening and disgusting experience last night: running into a naked man right below my block. Totally left me with shaking hands and legs. How on earth can any one make the world his home and think he can do his stuff in public? It's so fucking disturbing, I still can't really believe that such a thing happened.
When Megan and Jessica said they'd seen a flasher around, I didn't think seeing one would make me feel this traumatized.

This week's passed by incredibly fast! Can't believe it's already Friday and I'm gonna spend tonight at home because I don't wanna go near my void deck.

Anyway, anyone interested in joining me in pre school teaching??

And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.

-----
nic: purfek spelling :D

shang: so nice of you to do so.

DD: lol so coincidental?? Msg me NOW NOW NOW!

sweeyim: so sweet. hehe. I miss you too. We haven't met since Monday. hahahah

Don't Forget

2009-04-15T01:06:00.007+08:00

Ever had the kind of feeling of failing at something for numerous times? No matter how hard you try, you never get the result that you hope for. After long, what do you do? Give up right? That's how I feel now.

I believe that it takes 2 hands to clap, not 2 mouths. Saying something and doing something are two completely different things. I can tell you I miss you like crazy, and tell another person that I don't really give a shit about you. So when do we know when someone's lying, or when someone's speaking his/her mind?

Truth is, we're all hypocrites, aren't we? Sometimes because we don't wanna hurt the people around us.

When you see a friend heartbroken, you know that it's because he's just not interested, but you'll think of some excuse to ease the hurt
When someone says 'I havent seen you in so long! i missed you', she probably says it to every friend whom she hasn't bothered meeting the past 2342144 months.

Maybe people have different perceptions on friendship and how they should be maintained. My friends are very important to me and I believe I put in the effort to ask out those who matter to me, sometimes maybe just a little late due to the hectic schedule. If I stop asking, maybe I'd just finally given up, just like what I'd so after countless failed attempts at something.

Ps, this is totally random.

Pps I miss my friends, esp the ones I used to see more than thrice a week. Maybe growing up is taking this away from me/us.

Damnit I still failed to sleep before 1am :( I'm gonna die at work tomorrow.

Did you forget that I was even alive
Did you forget everything we ever had
Did you forget, did you forget about me?

Somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song but you won't sing along
You've forgotten about us
-----
wans: soon soon VERY SOON!!! tahan awhile more ok! I know work's a bitch but be strong!

nic: ya man but they're not chinese. Singhs. hehe. HUAI I PRAN?? ogay gimme some time. beezee beezee now

Today I made a huge silly mistake.. which ended up having a pleasant conclusion to it. :D

I got truly amazed by the house of my new student this evening. I got a shock when I reached the entrance of her bungalow at Lor Salleh, and a bigger one when I went in... and saw a lift. Apparently that place houses a family of 22, excluding their 3 housekeepers and 2 tailors. I just saw a little more of the world today. People can live so lavishly in Singapore. Many bungalows are starting to look like resorts, like the 2 on both sides of GlobalKids.

Off to bed; I always get so tempted to sleep during the kids' nap time.

Some things change, while some just never do.
-----

CHEO: yeah, very nostalgic leh. Really miss those days super much.

nic: where got dinner? next time jio

DD: yupyup! exactly. Seems like a long time ago when we were missing lessons for Superdog. Yes meet me soon please!

passer: I'm with GlobalKids :) Some schools accept O level holders but at a much lower pay. Most places, like where I'm at, would require a diploma.

n3r: private! Heh. lots of international kids. Yaya ok! better meet hoh!

Just sitting away, watching the days go by

2009-04-12T05:48:00.004+08:00

When I see pictures taken during the TAS days, memories of that period rush back as though it was only yesterday that we were going to school in Sentosa. Weird as it sounds, I can almost smell the morning aircon in vivocity as Christine and I used to rush from the mrt station to the tram station upstairs. I can feel the silence of the mall, the only noises being our flipflips hitting the floor furiously, as we rushed to the lift. I can remember sitting in Pacific Coffee with Debbie for 2 hours, thinking we were at TCC. I remember entering Sentosa for free on weekends even. I can feel, again, what it was like when I was in love. I really can.

I wanna be 18 again! omg 18 was almost 2 years ago.

-----

QIAN: you cannot one lor, i bet. haha!

wans: i know!! i'd definitely call you. I hope we'll go to the zoo! and ya call you out for dinner soon!! or just call me la :D

You don't even say Hi anymore.

2009-04-09T00:58:00.006+08:00

Sometimes I wish life would be better for me. All's good, but only because it's stagnant.
No happenings in life = no drama = nothing to be happy or sad about = fairly happy. Right or not?
I'm happy with what I have now. But just tonight, I wish I could be happier.
Some people have it all, some just don't.

The school's going on an excursion to the Botanic Gardens tomorrow!

I am excited :D

nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now

-----

aNn: really? there's somewhere which sells it. I forgot the name. Go check it out for you.

roseann: wait up i'm calling!! been really really busy and i feel damn bad about it :( i miss you!

shang: sexily tanned. Eew.

My new job

2009-04-07T00:52:00.004+08:00

Another wonderful day at work with my favourite kid(s), followed by an awesome time with Sarah and Simin over dinner!

Update update!

Dear DD and Winner, i'm working in a preschool now! Teacher Amelia ok. hahaha. It's damn fun actually. I don't even feel like I'm working. at least for now. It's damn different from my dip in htm i know, but soon i'll be getting another dip in early childhood so I'll have more options in the future!

MEET ME MEET ME SOON I'LL TELL YOU MORE AND SHOW YOU MY LITTLE BOYZXZXZ

-----
wans: yes tempmkt. soon leh. after this wk. super busy! i havent met rose too :(

DD: call me/i'll call you soon and tell you all about it!!

shang: what'd you do to your legs??? who's more chio

n3r: pre school, as said above! heh. dinner soon?

addicted to kids

2009-04-04T13:57:00.006+08:00

Survived the first 3 days of work and I'm lovin' it more and more! Thinking of the smiling, hyper-active kids make me smile on my way to work. Yesterday was the best because Darren was removing his shoes when I got there and he gave me this smile that lit both his and my face up! I could be a full time nanny of that kid. It's not a good thing but I'm starting to feel so attached to that boy.

There was water play yesterday and you should've seen those kids; pretending to swim, pretending to be ducks and penguins. The smiles on their faces really makes work so enjoyable. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like work. I'm getting paid to be around these little people!

The thing about working is that life starts getting dull because you get so exhausted after a whole day of running around and everything. I get too tired to go anywhere far, or even anywhere at all.

Stefanie and I went to Ikea last night though. We had hotdogs and conversations of our future homes, our kids, and Darren haha!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss work already.
:(

-----

Js: yeah i will thanks.

stella: mjr's stella?? Haha :( i will.. thanks! damn ugly now i know.

roseann: ok be calling/messaging you soon! urgh I still wont go there anymore!

Darren.

2009-04-02T20:40:00.003+08:00

Work wasn't as tiring today, probably because I had more sleep last night.

This kid whom I totally adore wasn't very proactive today so it took alot of time getting him to finish his food and get up. But the cutest thing happened when I made him drink his milk. So I asked him if the milk was too warm. He shook his head and then took my hand and put it on the cup. His parents are lucky to have such a cute son who's pretty obedient.

It's great being able to be around these little kids that I love every day. \o/

i think as time passes, I'm gonna crave for my own kid soon.

-----

wans: thank you!! haha sian man! next pay go splurge!!

kly: thanks!

SARAH: CALL ME CALL ME!!

nic: only you saw it that way pls. perv!

passerby min: yeah it hurt alot. much better now though, thanks! Work's good; I'm enjoying it (:

growing up.

2009-04-02T00:22:00.001+08:00

it hurts to talk to you like this, but you should srsly do some self reflection.
you know i love you.

ouchzxzx

2009-03-31T23:42:00.003+08:00

I start work tomorrow! After much hesitation and thinking.. I think I'll forget the other offers and just look forward to playing with the kiddies.

And these ugly things are gonna come with me. Seriously, I don't know why I've been so clumsy this year. I'm ruining my legs :(
-----

roseann: i'll see you next wk, save an evening for me!! hahah still dont like gardens, lovin' the ferrari ride. and you! <3

wans: i see that you've ald planned how to spend your first paycheck! but still must meet me ok.

aNn: I never compliment you before meh.

JS: things are good for me, thanks

CHEO: haha yes we'll go shop come May!

Good Morning Singapore

2009-03-30T06:46:00.001+08:00

I just got back from supper-turned-into-mj session w kly, nigel, fish and heng,
& my knees are a bloody mess.

:(

Thinking of you.

2009-03-28T06:31:00.005+08:00

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed

You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I've had the best
You said there's
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into...

You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay

Bet you haven't seen an emo Amelia in ages. I feel so much for the lyrics of this song, I've got a copy of it in my organizer.

Travelling in the bloody hot weather this afternoon was worth it because I got offered a job and I met tons of cute little people whom I'd be getting to know soon! How exciting, although I, much less anyone else, never thought I'd go into this profession with the diploma I just spent the last 3 years pursuing.

Went to Punggol End with Koonann to take some very pretty pictures in the evening. Can't wait to see how they're gonna turn out! Bet they'd be worth the many bites I've got all over me 'cos my buddy here's a good photographer :D CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE NOW?

Mahjonged with Huixian, Joel & his friend and all 3 of us totally got owned by Ms Soon. So she very nicely treated me to prata when we went for supper. (Believe it or not, it was my first time at Serangoon Gardens. Somehow that place gives my stomach a very sick feeling.)I've been so down on my luck lately... Darn. Note to self: Must go pray before I play the next time.

Ogay now that the holidays are ending, I must spend the next few days properly. STEFANIE FONG, ARE YOU GONNA COME OUT? Rosie, Wanru, Sylvia.. So many dates to make still! Suddenly I've got not enough time left. But hello, ka-ching!

bang vs gang

2009-03-27T04:24:00.006+08:00

Time zooms by when you haven't got anything much to do and you spend most of your day sleeping.. which is what I did today. Waking up early during the earlier part of the week was good though. I had so much time to do stuff like tidy up my room (not by much) and watch tv etc.

On Tuesday I went for an interview at Fuji Xerox Towers, and when I met Felix after the interview i learnt that this person (working at a coffee shop that I used to frequent) whom we always thought was a butch is actually a true blue man, who was so angry he revealed his body to prove his gender. Hahah I feel so bad for the mistaken gender and can't help feeling worse that his looks are so misleading..

Sweeyim and I have been eating quite abit of tao huey (and alot of other food) lately and she can't seem to stop blaming me. Is it my fault that she helps herself to snacks when she comes to my place? Or when we buy a packet of fries for ourselves? I feel so accused. Though I've gotta admit that my appetite's been huge lately :\

Though today started at 3pm for me, I think I did quite abit of stuff!
- 2 hours gym session with Sweeyim
- Confessions of a Shopaholic with Sweeyim. Am i weird if chick flicks make me cry?
- TOOK A RIDE IN JACKIE'S FERRARI! super vroooom until I scared hahaha
- Supper-ed at 85

Going for too many interviews of different jobs are making me wonder what I really want. My (not so fanciful) dream job, my side interest, or one where I think I'll get nice colleagues? This is so frustrating.

Dropped by Christine's to play with xuanxuan yesterday..
Xuanxuan
SY and I at Old School

This one's an imitation of some picture we took back in our secondary school days. I'm gonna try digging that picture out!

who needs a guy with friends like these?

2009-03-21T06:30:00.002+08:00

Ok maybe I still need a guy.. Just not now :D

Last night's dinner at Dallas was great, as was club hopping. The girls were half-dead and calling out for bed at 2am so I met J & KW which should have happened a long time ago. Dropped by Rebel, which felt like the times when we used to frequent Smoove together. Supper and a really great H2H conversation made my night.

i am thankful for the many wonderful friends I've got around me. Lucky me! Gotta get some snooze now.

but we're just hell's dreamers

2009-03-20T01:47:00.003+08:00

I've been having this super duper awful feeling like I've unfinished business to attend, but I just don't know what. It like the worrying feeling I used to get when assignment deadlines were nearing and I'd yet to do anything. But now there're no deadlines to meet, no outstanding work to be done, so what's up with that horrible feeling?

Being a bummer has been great because everything is done OTOT. Sweeyim and I took 518 this evening without knowing where we wanted to go. We ended up stopping in town to look YT up before having some tao huey. Lately I've been thinking, if i do not study or work, I'd be allowed to just bum like that for the rest of my life because I've completed my compulsary years of study. I'm allowed to just stay at home and rot all i want for the rest of my life. And that's a fucking scary thought. No more depending on parents, or having carefree lives with my only worries being my grades. It's time to get out there and earn a living, or die with nothing.

Time to flip through more Classified ads, call up more companies, and go for more interviews. Hello, new kind of stress.

I've had a great week with the closest girls though. Even got to see YT 2 days in a row, which is seriously a rare sight. Only girl missing's Stefanie Fong. Time to set up www.wherethehellisstefanie.com

Cleo's 50 Most Eligible Bachelors 2009

2009-03-16T13:58:00.008+08:00

It's the 3rd consecutive day that I've woken up to the pouring rain now, and today I couldn't help feeling a little emo thinking of too much unnecessary stuff.

But there's always eye candy to look at to chase those blue away! Caught the Bachelors Finals at Zirca with Nick, Sam, Jaimie and Joshua last Friday, thanks to Bachelor no, 40 Owen Chong!
I think MoS just changed their name because the interior is still almost exactly the same, just smaller. Jaimie and I found a super good spot to watch the competition and damn, those guys have got really great bodies! But some sounded/looked so gay Jaimie couldn't stop wriggling her finger in disapproval.

I was very glad to see the very cute Vivian Dawson win the competition. Think it was a sure-win for him, if you'd seen all the finalists.

Here I go sounding all groupie-ish, but whatever. CUTE RIGHT?

Owen
The models for the FCUK show were gorgeous. Love this picture, if only the screen wasn't spoilt.

The boys then stayed on to party, while I joined huixian and sweeyim and DblO. Met a couple of primary school friends, my 1st crush included HAHA, secondary school people, Jaslyn and Jiayi. It's so cheap to get drunk there. I wish they'd do something about Obar, like fix the damn aircon and get rid of the stench that was lingering.

All these late nights i've been having are leaving me broke. I need more tuition assignments. Can't decide between getting a full time job and studying Marketing. How. I need more advice!

oh how we've all changed since you left.

what champion?

2009-03-15T04:09:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, we celebrated huixian's birthday with a surprise picnic. Hopefully it was better than shopping at Bugis.
Yesterday, Liverpool thrashed Man Utd too. Beating them is sweeter than the freshest strawberries you can get.
WOOHOO!

Right in your face, Rooney.
I told you you'd see this right. :D

There was a time.

2009-03-12T13:23:00.004+08:00

Looking at some 50 pictures that Christine just tagged me in on FB, I became very nostalgic, especially of the time when we were in TAS. There are super duper wooper lots of memories I have of TAS, the first being crying uncontrollably during Mr Leong's first Accounting lecture. Thinking back it's super embarrassing la.

My Superdog days with Debbie, being her princess in shiny armor, doing our project till it was very dark and thinking the toilet was haunted..

Meeting christine at JE to go to TAS tgt.. and ending up going alone most of the time cos one of us always ended up being late.. those were the days! Even going to school was a happy thing. Going to TAS never really felt like school anyway, school hours were short and how can anyone feel like she's studying when she's in Sentosa? During those times, we even dressed up for school more than we did when going to TP.

During that time I had my very on-off relationship too, which I still think about once in awhile. Getting to know a new Me, a whole bunch of new people, a couple of close friends and a very close buddy. That year we even went to Zoukout without having to pay the entrance fee thanks to TAS!

Another reason why I love TAS is because we didn't have to go to school everyday, which meant we could club alot. And we did. Had so much time for the BF, for the clubs, and for nua-ing. If I could, I'd definitely love to turn back time, despite the downs I also faced during that period.

But of course, life now is whooping good too! I see my secondary school mates so much, although most of the time for mahjong. But it's with this bunch of people that I'll always feel comfortable around. Just 2 days back Huixian and I met up with Kelly and Wanying, having not done so for the past 3 years. And believe it or not, our first gathering after so long had to be around a Mahjong table. It didn't feel like we hadn't met each other in so long cos we were all singing together and laughing our heads off during that mahjong marathon which, according to Kel, lasted 7 hours. yes 7.

Many a time we blog for the sake of posting pictures up. I wanna tell you all about some wonderful friends that I've got in my life, some that I still see a lot, some that I don't, and I do not have tons of pictures of them in this laptop. But I still wanna babble on!

We're gonna see this familiar look of triumph this Saturday!

Girls just wanna have fun

2009-03-10T13:45:00.005+08:00

And we did! Going to Sunway Lagoon with Stefanie, Huixian and Sweeyim was wonderful. Us girls had lots of fun shopping, playing and farting, didn't we? Next stop: Taiwan!

Shopping in Sunway was like shopping in Vivo, but we still managed to get some cheap, good buys. Stefanie got addicted to A&W, while Sweeyim fell in love with XiXiLi. We binged on so much fast food, I really should abstain from them this week.

It fascinates me whenever I look at those girls and think how much we've all grown up since we became friends in our MBS and Manjusri uniforms. We've all gone through so much together and I know these are the people who are going to be significant in my life 10, 20 years down the road. Right? You shall all be godmas and godpas of my kids ^^

MJ!!!
Lovin' the comfy coach ride

Perhaps the next trip round the other girls would be able to join us. Can't wait!

Had steamboat at wanru's together with Jungang, Pohsuan and Huifen last night! Enjoyed the food (I bet wanru loved her Fuzhou fishballs) and the bitchtalks we all had! My poly friends are some of the biggest bitches I've ever met, I must say, not that it's anything bad. Watched an episode of Boys Over Flowers and I must say Jihu is damn cute! Gotta start watching from scratch, like Debs told me to.
We spent the whole night laughing at devastating Barberella, tuts my barreh and standup comedies. I can't believe we did that till 6 in the morning! Great time spent, looking forward to the next gathering.

I'm going to Lor Marzuki now! BYE

P/s you should all go youtube and search Jason Mraz Live in Singapore.

n3r: wed ons!

YT: wassup. girly time soon?

wans: i wish i took hist too la! very very interesting. I hope you've caught valkyrie, barberella!

JS: i sleep alot

Live High

2009-03-06T01:32:00.004+08:00

Our coach to Sunway Lagoon is in 6 hours', I haven't packed my bag and I almost forgot to get my passport from mummy, but I HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT LAST NIGHT!!!

JASON MRAZ WAS AWESOME!! IN FACT, WAY BEYOND AWESOME.

I swear he's the only musician I'd pay $75 to watch go LALALAL, tweedeeleedeedeedee and such. Make me a Jason Mraz to marry please. Of course the concert was fun because of the good company of Kitmin, Sarah, Sarah's friend and Mark! Mark and Sarah are probably the only people I know who are as big JM fans as I am. I think I'm gonna suffer from post-mraz syndrome soon.. Can't wait till he comes again.

Anyway! I went for a haircut this afternoon to assist this Toni & Guy trainee in his exam. I hate my hair now :(

I hope the rain won't follow us to Malaysia. Off I go!

to pack my bag.

we sing. we dance. we steal things.

2009-03-05T12:35:00.003+08:00

IT'S THURSDAY!! HELLO JASON MRAZ IN 8HOURS :D

You know today's gonna be super miserable when you're gonna have a long day and you've only had 4 hours of sleep. I did a very foolish act of playing MJ with Huixian, Kitmin and Jungang till 7am. I feel like i could just die. Haha I feel so lazy to get up for my haircut now. kiang zoh hoh, mai gei kiang I guess we always fail to practice that.

Christine and I caught The Boy in the Striped Pajamas yesterday! Liked the show, though it was very sad and slightly traumatizing for me. All these war shows I've been catching lately are making me wish I did history back in school.

My diary.

2009-03-02T17:58:00.002+08:00

Sylvia and I met for lunch this afternoon and had this great talk that made me, and perhaps her, realise that sometimes even the biggest jerks we know can be really nice people. Or rather, were really nice people once.
I also got pretty fascinated by the stuff she's been doing in her course these three years. I didn't know poly life could be like that for some people! So interesting, albeit political.
Of the many things we shared with each other, some made us really go OMGWTF?!, and some were really aww-worthy. Weehoo Syl and I need to talk some more soon!
(I hope your critique goes well tomorrow babe!)

I finally finally found the right book to call my diary. Thick enough, binded and looks just right to me. It was practically screaming 'Use me!'. Notebooks are really looking more and more fancy btw. Sylvia found this notebook that was semi velvety, which I bought without having a need for it.

I started penning my thoughts down when I got my first diary in 2001, when I was 12. It's been almost 8 years, come to think of it! Damn super long. I know, what's the point of writing when you can type everything out now, right? But somehow writing gives me some sense of calm, and I can just find myself writing for an hour at times.

That diary was full before Sec1 was even over and I started writing on fulscap paper. That stack of around say, 5 writing pads?, looks like crap but all my deepest and darkest secrets are in there. Some very silly, others very heartfelt.

Now I've finally found the right book, it's gonna be filled with tons of pictures, doodles, movie & play stubs, everything! I don't care if I sound like a geek, but I'M SO EXCITED!

Have I got no life?

2009-02-28T19:57:00.010+08:00

It's the second weekend that I'm home without any programs. Then again, since school ended, every day's been like a weekend to me. Maybe Saturdays and Sundays are for recuperating now. I'm still coughing like mad anyway.

Edwin's back from Taiwan and we caught up over dinner at Shokudo last night. That nice guy bought me a box of condoms and sanitary pads.. in edible form. Haha. Chocolates and marshmallows! Super cute. See!

To think I was initially amused that Edwin dared to buy a packet of sanitary pads for me.

Joined Xav and Co at Sin Ming Ave to prawn last night. And we caught 28 prawns in all! Well, the guys at least. Not we. Had quite a talk with Xavier and he ate gong gongs for the first time. I can't believe he hadn't tried that before prior to last night!

That's See Chao Cock in Xav's hands.

We found out that Thursday is Ladies' Night at Kbox so we got to sing till Kbox closed at 3am for a really low price.

Doing it sweeyim style

I think, one day, every friend of mine will also be a friend of another friend of mine. Just like when SY HX and I met some guys at zouk few weeks ago and realised they were sy's primary school mates, and when SY met KM and found mutual friends. Scary or interesting?

Anyway my pictures just came by mail! It's damn efficient and now I don't have to save pictures in my thumbdrive and bring it down to the photo shop anymore. Just go to Snapfish. Very cheap too. I'm gonna develop some more pictures now.

wanru; says: (9:27:52 PM)
somehow ah, i wanna be friends with you long long time amelia sim!
wanru; says: (9:28:26 PM)
im not VERY close with you, dont share much secrets and all, but it's nice having you as my friend leh!

That's the second nicest thing someone's said to me this week. :)

ok, done, my lovely daughter:)

Hahaha my mum so cute right. The parents have been in surprisingly good moods this past week, leaving megan and I super puzzled. Not that we're complaining.

wild ride

2009-02-27T04:02:00.003+08:00

woohoo 6 hours of kbox with kitmin, huixian and sweeyim, plus my constant coughing and runny nose pretty much made up for the lost karaoke sessions over the months. Sang till we had no more songs to sing. I can feel a burn in my throat ald. :(

Finally went down to check the TAs out this afternoon, and WE ARE FINALLY GOING TO SUNWAY LAGOON MAR 6TH!!
Took us long enough to get the attendance and date confirmed. Finally finally :)
BTW, does anyone have a set of mini mahjong tiles to loan for a weekend? We are not addicted ok, just want some entertainment at night.

Finally (again), I got to try Crystal Jade's xiao long baos and I might just prefer them to din tai fung's. Caught Slumdog Millionaire and i've gotta say the show's worth every single Oscar it'd won. Fantastic bollywood-ish movie! and probably the only bollywood-ish show I'd catch.

Very often we let our emotions bring us down, take us sky high or down to ground zero. One day you feel a strong surge of excitement, and the next you just wanna stab yourself in the heart, hard. I wish i wasn't burdened with such emotions. Not again.

I need some zha jiang mian now.. I promise I'll start running after Sunway.

wans: yes! i've noticed that I'm not the only one with this problem. I love post-poly life but it sucks now.

JS: haha thanks

2009-02-26T05:17:00.005+08:00

Should there be a reason why I still can't sleep at this hour? I went to bed 2 hours ago and thought I was already asleep until my eyes suddenly opened widely and my phone told me it was 5am. 5 freakin AM!

I am hell tired and I thought panadol is supposed to make me drowsy and sleep well? Even if it's the ungodly bedtimes I've been having, I'm usually asleep by 5 already what. It's bed time! So why so hard to sleep amelia?

I am angry. So angry with myself. Angry because my brain is filled with stupid images and thoughts and many more thoughts that are keeping me more awake than ever.

I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO SLEEP .

NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!

I want to kill somebody.

ok maybe it's love.

at least liverpool's not losing.

but it's still not helping

ok i should try sleeping again

maybe i should go for a run

ok i'm out

ooh they're putting gerrard on.

OKOK BYE

Too much mahjong

2009-02-25T22:07:00.004+08:00

Megan and I are both sick.

So we were talking earlier on, and she said, when we were young, she used to lie on my pillow when she was sick so I'd get sick too.
"You mean you didn't know meh?"
How was I supposed to know that?! Haha i think my sister's damn cute.

I don't know when we started becoming so close but it's definitely one of the best things that's happened.

I lubzxzx her

81st Oscar Awards

2009-02-23T13:03:00.003+08:00

Is it normal to tear watching the Oscars?

I don't watch this awards show every year, but the programme shown on tv earlier was great! Slumdog Millionaire bagged like what, 8 awards or something? Can't wait to catch it.

I loved Heath Ledger winning an award, loved Dustin Lance Black's speech, and my favourite was watching them hand out the award for best actress and actor.

This probably sounds silly but I wanna watch it again.
